July 8th, 2016 by Samantha Weaver New In: Bohemian Dresses and Matching Sets
We’re big fans of easy dressing at Crossroads, which is why we can’t seem to keep ourselves from shopping this summer’s hottest trend: boho chic. Incorporating the bohemian trend into your wardrobe is super simple—in fact, it can be accomplished with just one trip to your nearest Crossroads store this week!
Here are some guidelines to choosing boho pieces that are updated and chic.
1. Keep the silhouette simple
Reach for maxi dresses and skirts because they elongate your figure.
2. Don’t mix prints
When sporting bold prints, go for either an all-over print or a matching set.
3. Be selective with your accessories
Some would say the more the merrier, but we’re recommending that you highlight one piece and keep the rest of your accessories minimal. Whether you want to feature a nice leather bag or a statement necklace, keep the accessory count to 1-3 pieces, or you’ll find yourself in a festival style nightmare.
